OK ummm... I didn't really like the movie it felt like to me that they put to much attention to the little thing that didn't really matter in the book and totally skipped on the interesting things like I would rather sit in the movie theater for like 4 and half hours watching the things that I felt that should be in the movie than having a short 2 hour movie and watch parts of the book and then huge gaps and then continue... I know i made sense to people who didn't read the books, but it's still disappointing for the others how did read it like me. and yes I would recommend to my friends only because they havn't read the books.
